Trump delivered. Again.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump delivered a major win for American workers and families Thursday with the announcement of a powerful new U.S.-U.K. trade agreement—a move the White House calls “a historic turning point for fair trade.”
“This is an incredible day for America,” Trump declared during a press briefing at the White House. “We’ve just secured the first of many new trade deals that will put American interests first—especially our great farmers, manufacturers, and producers.”
The deal, negotiated over the past month, dramatically expands market access for U.S. agricultural exports, including American beef, corn-based ethanol, and other key products. It also slashes red tape by fast-tracking American goods through British customs.
Billions in New Revenue, Jobs, and Manufacturing Power
The agreement brings with it:
- $6 billion in projected tariff revenue to the U.S. from a new 10% import duty
- $5 billion in additional export opportunities for American ranchers and food producers
- A newly established Aluminum and Steel Trade Zone to protect U.S. industry and boost national security
- A reinforced, secure pharmaceutical supply chain between the U.S. and U.K. to end dependence on China
In a message posted to Truth Social, President Trump celebrated the moment:
“Today we delivered our first Fair, Open, and Reciprocal Trade Deal—something past presidents never had the courage or strength to pursue.”
This major policy move reaffirms Trump’s “America First” economic vision, drawing clear lines between his leadership and the failed globalism of past administrations.
Strong Partnership with the U.K.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer personally phoned the White House during the event, applauding the deal as a “critical step forward” that will “create jobs, open markets, and deepen our longstanding alliance.”
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick also revealed that the United Kingdom is finalizing a $10 billion purchase of Boeing aircraft, a major show of support for American aerospace workers. “I’ll leave it to the airline to make their announcement, but it’s a big deal,” Lutnick added.
A Trade Deal That Puts America First
This agreement marks the first major trade victory under Trump’s second term agenda and signals a bold economic resurgence. The deal is expected to unlock tens of thousands of jobs across agriculture, energy, and manufacturing—especially in rural and working-class communities.
As inflation and global instability rattle markets under weak international leadership, this Trump-led trade success offers real results for everyday Americans.
